         or demo4, mono=1
     solves for the flow past a 2D airfoil using Kutta-Jakowski theory.
     The colors represent static pressure (darker is lower pressure),
     red lines are streamlines.
     Solutions for various angles of attack are shown by animation.
     With the mono=1 keyword, only the streamlines are shown.  (On a
     monochrome terminal, the pressure makes the streamlines invisible.)
